It really isn't.
Although the game last night and the one today (although I was watching Wolfsburg/Frankfurt which was better) were terrible.
No idea why they put a shocking Schalke v a shocking Bremen as THE MAIN GAME.

Bayern have the quickest back four in history on show today. 3 lefties in a back four though
I wouldn't be surprised if Bayern hit 8 here.
Same as the PL, can’t get excited by it any more and the no fans don’t help. Can’t wait to get back to going to real games here.

I forgot what our FA Cup draw was. The top four race doesn't seem quite so exciting now that fuck knows if there will even be a CL, too.
I'm excited by it although it definitely has the feel of a damp squib about it. I'm sure the guys at the bottom are up for it.
Fortuna, much like the other sides near the bottom, just cannot defend at all.
Tough to see Europe restarting. At least this year anyway. Doing your own thing in-house in one thing(we shouldn't be doing that either) but when it comes to crossing borders it'll get way more complicated.
Next year's will be knackered as well.
Top 5.
RB Leipzig and Gladbach are also good teams.
England you could make a case for a couple more but how many good teams are there in Spain, Italy and France?

I think it's Bayern *big fucking gap* Leipzig/Dortmund *big fucking gap* everyone else. I do like Gladbach though. Zakaria and Neuhaus are very pleasing to the eye.
The overall standard is abysmal compared to the Barclays. Mid table Championship. You get about half a goal less per game but I'm not sure that's a worthwhile trade-off.
I don't see it that way.
95% of the matches in the Premiership I've watched over the last couple of seasons have just been dull and boring for me and I've felt jaded.
Bundesliga has been a breathe of fresh air for me.
Has he even scored against a ‘top 6’ club yet? Fraud.
He has the Mane/Gervinho thing of having a receding hairline and a weird haircut too
Plea and Thuram (son of Lillian) are a great forward pairing.
Dortmund look shocking without Haaland.
Edit: A GK error and quality from Brandt make up for that.

Game completely changed after that GK error.
Sancho has looked good.
Championship back on 20th June:

I have a mate who works back office for a Championship club and has been furloughed on 80% since this all began. He still isn't sure of getting back, perhaps ever, but resumption now means there's a good chance as opposed to none. Sport affects so much more than the league table.
I didn't clock whether Belarus ever broke normality at their games or if they still to this day are continuing as normal along with whatever other countries who haven't bent over for this shit but realistically, are we expecting any top 20 leagues to allow crowds in 2020? The way things are going I don't understand why half-capacity social distanced crowds wouldn't be a go-er soon.
Can't get particularly hyped up about renewing our promotion push. If we do manage to get promoted, there's no way to really celebrate, unlike 2018, where the play-off final was one of the best days you could ever hope to have as a football fan. This time it would be a silent celebration with barely any emotion, and when proper fan-attended football would return, we'd be back to being the whipping boys of the Prem - just like 18/19, an awful dirge of a season with some of the shoddiest management possible (thanks Claudio).
Social distancing is never going to work in that environment due to the communal areas, getting to your seat and all that. Plus, even at half capacity you'd still get a good percentage of twats leaving early and brushing their saliva all over those they have to squeeze past.
Maybe teams could put fans into quarantine as well.
And don't forget to shed a tear for poor old Tyrone Mings and co.
Letting the away fans leave the ground two weeks after the home fans. And the queue at the turnstiles for hand gel. And the queue at the toilets for hand gel. And the queue at half time for hand gel.
Why are the Beeb showing a Euro '96 game after ITV have literally just played the whole tournament? I'm cancelling my tv license.
Because their Euro throback is an all time thing rather than just '96.
